Heparin Problems Could Be Traced back to China

An unidentified substance mimicking the drug Heparin has been found in the blood-thinning drug, potentially connected to the adverse reactions to Heparin this past December. Reactions to the Baxter drug have included as many as 19 deaths and 785 serious illnesses since January of last year.

The tampering very likely occurred somewhere along the supply chain, beginning with pig farms in China. It is still unknown as to whether the introduction of the contaminant was accidental or intentional, though an investigation is under way.
